Waiting on Wednesday 01/09/19
Waiting On Wednesday” is a weekly meme that first originated at Breaking the Spine but has since linked up with “Can’t Wait Wednesday” at Wishful Endings now that the original creator is unable to host it anymore. Either way, this fun feature is a chance to showcase the upcoming releases that we can’t wait to get our hands on!

Blood of Empire by Brian McClellan (November 26, 2019 by Orbit)
We’re barely into the second week of 2019 and already I’m lusting after a book that’s not due out until the end of the year, but that’s just how it goes. McClellan will be wrapping up his second trilogy set in the Powder Mage universe (wow, how time flies) and I can’t wait to see how things will play out. I love everything this guy writes.
“War ignites when magic and gunpowder combine in the final book in acclaimed author Brian McClellan’s epic fantasy series Gods of Blood and Powder.
The Dynize have unlocked the Landfall Godstone, and Michel Bravis is tasked with returning to Greenfire Depths to do whatever he can to prevent them from using its power; from sewing dissention among the enemy ranks to rallying the Palo population.
Ben Styke’s invasion of Dynize is curtailed when a storm scatters his fleet. Coming ashore with just twenty lancers, he is forced to rely on brains rather than brawn – gaining new allies in a strange land on the cusp of its own internal violence.
Bereft of her sorcery and physically and emotionally broken, Lady Vlora Flint now marches on Landfall at the head of an Adran army seeking vengeance against those who have conspired against her. While allied politicians seek to undo her from within, she faces insurmountable odds and Dynize’s greatest general.”

I read a few short Powder Mage stories that were interesting and I hope this year to see how I get on with the novels.

I cannot wait for Blood of Empire. It’s going to be a long wait. I think I might reread the Powder Mage trilogy to keep me going. 🙂

Given how much you love this author I really do need to get my act together and read his work. Saying isn’t doing though is it – because I do keep saying that very thing. I need to pull my socks up.
